We did it. Renton was found guilty on a list of charges so long that he'll be in prison for the rest of forever. My statements and Dad's statements made a huge difference. People listened to me. I stood in front of a room full of strangers and I told them the darkest things about me and I was looked upon with compassion instead of hatred. They

Thank goodness it's all finally over. The Renton debacle, and the Bush one. These are good endings, and good beginnings. It feels like tomorrow, we will wake to a saner world. It's still going to take as much work as it was going to yesterday, of course. But now, it seems a little more within reach.

Exactly. I don't think the work is ever over, but when you can see the reason we keep it up...that's wonderful. The streets are a little safer and now that Renton's going down in flames with no hope for appeal, he's starting to squeal on all his little minons as well since they only helped in his downfall. Apparently I'm very convincing when I give testimony even though I can barely stand. Funny, that.

Not the barely standing part! Anyway, I'm better now.

Well, that's what happens to empires of dust. All you need do is blow hard enough, and they all crumble away.

I think that metaphor is probably a little dodgy...

Hahahhaa blow hard! No, I like the metaphor!

I suppose there isn't!

Dad cried at the hearing. It was so cute. And then I cried when we got to bring Aislinn home and them Mum cried because everyone else was crying and Damon watched us like this O_O. It's been an emotional time...

Well, I'll hang onto it then! Haha...

It has been an emotional time indeed. It's certainly a relief to know we can let it all out safely now. To know that you and Aislinn are safe. There's a lot to be thankful for.

[virtuosic_flair]

Blow hard, everyone, blow hard!

There's everything to be thankful for, and dammit, I am.

Hear, hear!
